I have to say that I think there might be a pretty strong genetic/innate/developed tolerance for high altitude as well.

Seriously? This is article-worthy?

Yeah, this article is kind of weird.

Your username is appropriate.

Congrats on coming off like an elitist jerk.

Here's a gym tip: if you're complaining about stuff that doesn't directly impact you (e.g. someone updating their status, or wearing makeup, or checking out their abs in the mirror), then you might be just be a dick.

The Pomodoro Technique

Right, I definitely want 10,000 notifications in order to read posts from pages I have actively said I am interested in instead of Facebook, say, just showing me the posts in my news feed that I have actively said I am interested in.

Yawn. Oh yes, please, Facebook... make me download more apps. I'm sincerely interested in having yet another icon to clutter up my phone and another separate app to get updates. It doesn't at all make sense to use the Facebook app as, you know, a central place to access Facebook features and communicate with Facebook…

This works, but I generally just make liberal use of the "shut up" buttons (i.e. pressing one of the hard buttons to make the phone stop ringing, or simply declining the call). Also, my phone is only ever on vibrate so if it's in my pocket I can just ignore it altogether.

I'd argue that hacking LastPass is a step closer to the unencrypted data than hacking Dropbox. With LastPass, they're actually on the servers who control the process - it's done locally, yes, but the servers are trusted and they could push out updates to the browser extension or other such activities to gain access to…

Having to stop your keyboard from autocorrecting real words is a Thing That Shouldn't Happen.

Obviously, money and benefits are the primary reasons to stick with a job. If those are the only reasons, though, you should be madly searching for another job in your free time, but most people don't have the luxury of walking away from their job without something else waiting.

Also... ask. Cajole. Flatter. Whatever. You don't have to be completely shameless about it, but I can't tell you the number of deals I've scored by just talking to people.

I use stars as items that I want to be able to easily call up again in the future - reference items (e.g. one has my wifi network password in it, or when I'm traveling I'll star my itinerary and travel-related emails, to be unstarred when I'm done with the trip). One advantage of this is that I sync all starred emails…

If $15,000 can earn 4-8% in an investment portfolio, but the loan only costs you 2%, your money is out-earning what it's costing you in interest.

You misspelled "bidness"

Yep, if you can get a low interest rate (especially 0-2%), anyone who is financially responsible would be better off investing their money for the duration of the loan since you'll get better earnings than that in the market.

Here's the thing, though... all that guy did was increase the number of times he went out on a date. The fact that it took him the better part of 100 "first dates" is indicative of how little what he did actually refined the process.

Yep, around there. I think smartphones are at 80% while tablets are around 70%, but there are a lot more smartphones sold than tablets so...
